"Saturated Fats" and Trans Fats are the two types, that are most likely to increase the risk of cancer. The main sources of Saturated Fats are full cream milk, eggs, red meat etc. Trans Fats, which are also known as partially hydrogenated oils are prepared by passing hydrogen through liquid vegetable oil, which gives it a solid white granular look. This type of oil is preferred by the commercial food manufacturers, because it is less likely to get spoilt, but could be very bad for your health. The healthiest fats are the unsaturated fats, which are derived from plants and remain liquid at room temperature. They in fact reduce the risk of cancer. The main sources of good or unsaturated fats are olive oil, canola oil, nuts, avocados. Flax seeds, salmon and tuna are some of the good sources of omega 3 fatty acids, which help in fighting inflammation and are very good for your brain as well as heart. If you eat the diet rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, it could help you to prevent colon, breast or prostrate cancers. Colon cancer is becoming a very well known type of cancer in the US. Eskimos in Alaska who usually eat a lot more fish than people in the US do, have less risk of developing colon cancer. They do eat a high fat diet, but meet out most of their fat requirements from eating fish which are rich in the omega 3 fatty acids. Even people who have been diagnosed with colon cancer and are still in the early stages of it, can possibly slow down the progress of the disease by consuming more omega 3 in their diet or through supplements. Eating fish 5 days a week or taking adequate supplements reduces the chance of a person developing colon cancer by 40 percent. So if eating out, choose the seafood dish over the steak. Breast cancer is responsible for taking the lives of many women and even men every year. According to a rough estimate there would be 207,090 new cases found of the invasive type of breast cancer. Of these cases, there would be an estimated 39,840 that would die in a years time. Besides breast feeding, remaining active and staying in your proper weight, eating an omega 3 rich diet may possibly help prevent this disease from happening. Omega 3 is considered to contain anti-cancer ingredients that help prevent the chances of tumours becoming cancerous. It is also possible that omega 3 could stop the migration of cancer cells and reduce metastatic growth. The most common type of cancer afflicting the male population is Prostrate cancer. A diet low in saturated fats and rich in omega 3 fatty acids could prevent this disease. Omega 3 helps reduce inflammation in the body and improves the blood circulation. The battle against the prostate being enlarged or becoming cancerous may benefit from omega 3 being introduced into the diet along with many other nutrients such as tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, good fats, saw palmetto and nettle root . These herbs and nutrients can help fight off and prevent prostate cancer. Apart from including the above to your diet if you are a male, avoiding caffeine and relieving oneself sexually eases the pressure from the prostrate gland.
